<p>Buffers are the basic unit of data transfer in GStreamer. They contain the
timing and offset along with other arbitrary metadata that is associated
with the <a class="link" href="GstMemory.html" title="GstMemory"><span class="type">GstMemory</span></a> blocks that the buffer contains.</p>
<p>Buffers are usually created with <a class="link" href="GstBuffer.html#gst-buffer-new" title="gst_buffer_new ()"><code class="function">gst_buffer_new()</code></a>. After a buffer has been
created one will typically allocate memory for it and add it to the buffer.
The following example creates a buffer that can hold a given video frame
with a given width, height and bits per plane.</p>

<p></p>
<p>Alternatively, use <a class="link" href="GstBuffer.html#gst-buffer-new-allocate" title="gst_buffer_new_allocate ()"><code class="function">gst_buffer_new_allocate()</code></a> to create a buffer with
preallocated data of a given size.</p>
<p>Buffers can contain a list of <a class="link" href="GstMemory.html" title="GstMemory"><span class="type">GstMemory</span></a> objects. You can retrieve how many
memory objects with <a class="link" href="GstBuffer.html#gst-buffer-n-memory" title="gst_buffer_n_memory ()"><code class="function">gst_buffer_n_memory()</code></a> and you can get a pointer
to memory with <a class="link" href="GstBuffer.html#gst-buffer-peek-memory" title="gst_buffer_peek_memory ()"><code class="function">gst_buffer_peek_memory()</code></a></p>
<p>A buffer will usually have timestamps, and a duration, but neither of these
are guaranteed (they may be set to <a class="link" href="GstClock.html#GST-CLOCK-TIME-NONE:CAPS" title="GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE"><span class="type">GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE</span></a>). Whenever a
meaningful value can be given for these, they should be set. The timestamps
and duration are measured in nanoseconds (they are <a class="link" href="GstClock.html#GstClockTime" title="GstClockTime"><span class="type">GstClockTime</span></a> values).</p>
<p>The buffer DTS refers to the timestamp when the buffer should be decoded and
is usually monotonically increasing. The buffer PTS refers to the timestamp when
the buffer content should be presented to the user and is not always
monotonically increasing.</p>
<p>A buffer can also have one or both of a start and an end offset. These are
media-type specific. For video buffers, the start offset will generally be
the frame number. For audio buffers, it will be the number of samples
produced so far. For compressed data, it could be the byte offset in a
source or destination file. Likewise, the end offset will be the offset of
the end of the buffer. These can only be meaningfully interpreted if you
know the media type of the buffer (the preceding CAPS event). Either or both
can be set to <a class="link" href="GstBuffer.html#GST-BUFFER-OFFSET-NONE:CAPS" title="GST_BUFFER_OFFSET_NONE"><span class="type">GST_BUFFER_OFFSET_NONE</span></a>.</p>
<p>gst_buffer_ref() is used to increase the refcount of a buffer. This must be
done when you want to keep a handle to the buffer after pushing it to the
next element. The buffer refcount determines the writability of the buffer, a
buffer is only writable when the refcount is exactly 1, i.e. when the caller
has the only reference to the buffer.</p>
<p>To efficiently create a smaller buffer out of an existing one, you can
use <a class="link" href="GstBuffer.html#gst-buffer-copy-region" title="gst_buffer_copy_region ()"><code class="function">gst_buffer_copy_region()</code></a>. This method tries to share the memory objects
between the two buffers.</p>
<p>If a plug-in wants to modify the buffer data or metadata in-place, it should
first obtain a buffer that is safe to modify by using
<a class="link" href="GstBuffer.html#gst-buffer-make-writable" title="gst_buffer_make_writable()"><code class="function">gst_buffer_make_writable()</code></a>.  This function is optimized so that a copy will
only be made when it is necessary.</p>
<p>Several flags of the buffer can be set and unset with the
<a class="link" href="GstBuffer.html#GST-BUFFER-FLAG-SET:CAPS" title="GST_BUFFER_FLAG_SET()"><code class="function">GST_BUFFER_FLAG_SET()</code></a> and <a class="link" href="GstBuffer.html#GST-BUFFER-FLAG-UNSET:CAPS" title="GST_BUFFER_FLAG_UNSET()"><code class="function">GST_BUFFER_FLAG_UNSET()</code></a> macros. Use
<a class="link" href="GstBuffer.html#GST-BUFFER-FLAG-IS-SET:CAPS" title="GST_BUFFER_FLAG_IS_SET()"><code class="function">GST_BUFFER_FLAG_IS_SET()</code></a> to test if a certain <a class="link" href="GstBuffer.html#GstBufferFlags" title="enum GstBufferFlags"><span class="type">GstBufferFlags</span></a> flag is set.</p>
<p>Buffers can be efficiently merged into a larger buffer with
<a class="link" href="GstBuffer.html#gst-buffer-append" title="gst_buffer_append ()"><code class="function">gst_buffer_append()</code></a>. Copying of memory will only be done when absolutely
needed.</p>
<p>Arbitrary extra metadata can be set on a buffer with <a class="link" href="GstBuffer.html#gst-buffer-add-meta" title="gst_buffer_add_meta ()"><code class="function">gst_buffer_add_meta()</code></a>.
Metadata can be retrieved with <a class="link" href="GstBuffer.html#gst-buffer-get-meta" title="gst_buffer_get_meta ()"><code class="function">gst_buffer_get_meta()</code></a>. See also <a class="link" href="gstreamer-GstMeta.html#GstMeta" title="struct GstMeta"><span class="type">GstMeta</span></a></p>
<p>An element should either unref the buffer or push it out on a src pad
using <a class="link" href="GstPad.html#gst-pad-push" title="gst_pad_push ()"><code class="function">gst_pad_push()</code></a> (see <a class="link" href="GstPad.html" title="GstPad"><span class="type">GstPad</span></a>).</p>
<p>Buffers are usually freed by unreffing them with <a class="link" href="GstBuffer.html#gst-buffer-unref" title="gst_buffer_unref ()"><code class="function">gst_buffer_unref()</code></a>. When
the refcount drops to 0, any memory and metadata pointed to by the buffer is
unreffed as well. Buffers allocated from a <a class="link" href="GstBufferPool.html" title="GstBufferPool"><span class="type">GstBufferPool</span></a> will be returned to
the pool when the refcount drops to 0.</p>
<p>The <a class="link" href="GstBuffer.html#GstParentBufferMeta" title="struct GstParentBufferMeta"><span class="type">GstParentBufferMeta</span></a> is a meta which can be attached to a <a class="link" href="GstBuffer.html" title="GstBuffer"><span class="type">GstBuffer</span></a>
to hold a reference to another buffer that is only released when the child
<a class="link" href="GstBuffer.html" title="GstBuffer"><span class="type">GstBuffer</span></a> is released.</p>
<p>Typically, <a class="link" href="GstBuffer.html#GstParentBufferMeta" title="struct GstParentBufferMeta"><span class="type">GstParentBufferMeta</span></a> is used when the child buffer is directly
using the <a class="link" href="GstMemory.html" title="GstMemory"><span class="type">GstMemory</span></a> of the parent buffer, and wants to prevent the parent
buffer from being returned to a buffer pool until the <a class="link" href="GstMemory.html" title="GstMemory"><span class="type">GstMemory</span></a> is available
for re-use. (Since: 1.6)</p>

</pre>
<p>Returns a writable copy of <em class="parameter"><code>buf</code></em>
. If the source buffer is
already writable, this will simply return the same buffer.</p>
<p>Use this function to ensure that a buffer can be safely modified before
making changes to it, including changing the metadata such as PTS/DTS.</p>
<p>If the reference count of the source buffer <em class="parameter"><code>buf</code></em>
 is exactly one, the caller
is the sole owner and this function will return the buffer object unchanged.</p>
<p>If there is more than one reference on the object, a copy will be made using
<a class="link" href="GstBuffer.html#gst-buffer-copy" title="gst_buffer_copy ()"><code class="function">gst_buffer_copy()</code></a>. The passed-in <em class="parameter"><code>buf</code></em>
 will be unreffed in that case, and the
caller will now own a reference to the new returned buffer object. Note
that this just copies the buffer structure itself, the underlying memory is
not copied if it can be shared amongst multiple buffers.</p>
<p>In short, this function unrefs the buf in the argument and refs the buffer
that it returns. Don't access the argument after calling this function unless
you have an additional reference to it.</p>
